Returns - International - Too Small

Return Option A: Compare Side-by-Side

You can order another size, compare them side-by-side with your current pair, and decide which one fits best.

Return Option B: Return Now, Refund, Reorder

You can return your original pair, and wait for your refund, before you order another size to try.Option B takes more time and runs the risk of the original pair fitting better. Option B is for customers who don’t want 2 outstanding charges on their credit card.

Instructions for ordering your replacement pair…

We send out replacements for free, so use discount code INTL-EXCH and shipping will be $0.

Note: It might say “pre-order” for the SKU you want. I try to keep a few pairs on-hand for existing customers needing size exchanges, so I might be able to send you a replacement sooner than what it says, or even right away.

If the current price is higher than what you paid at pre-order, REPLY to your order confirmation with your original order # and price paid. I'll refund the difference.

I apologize in advance, I can’t change the declared value or mark it as anything but Merchandise, because I don’t want your government banning me from doing business in your country.

Instructions for returning...

1) Make sure shoes are CLEAN, Like New.

Unlike other shoe companies, we're okay with you wearing your shoes outside! Just make sure you clean off any dirt or mud before sending them back. Common courtesy, right? =)

If necessary, your local cobbler can make them good as new with a clean, condition, and shine.

Wrinkles?Okay!It's practically unavoidable.

Dirt or mud?Not Okay!Please clean this off.

Scuffs?Not Okay!Please have these buffed out. Your local cobbler is great at this.

Deep cuts or scratches?Never Okay!If you return shoes with deep cuts or scratches, you will lose your refund and your shoes.

2) Pack the items for Return:

Make sure the LEFT shoe tree goes into the LEFT shoe, and the RIGHT shoe tree goes into the RIGHT shoe. Switching the shoe trees can distort your shoes and forfeit your refund.

II. Fit & Feel

At left is a typical dress shoe, same size and same Wide width. You can see that it is still 1 or 2 cm longer than ours. Most sleeker dress shoes have a fair amount of unoccupied space in the front. We took advantage of that and used it to give you a wide toebox without looking like it. Dress shoes get even longer if we start looking at chisel-toe and pointy-toe styles. But even though these conventional dress shoes are longer, you still feel cramped because of the heel lift and the fact that their shoes are widest at the ball of the foot. Ours are widest at the toes, as a foot naturally is.

If the widest part of your feet (i.e. your toes) occupies the widest part of our shoes, then you are wearing the right size.

Regarding groundfeel, Chronology's outsole is 4mm thick, with another 4mm of leather and cork between that and your feet. The polyurethane we use for the outsole was selected for durability, which is more important than groundfeel in a shoe like this. The 2-part (polyurethane + leather/cork) design allows for the shoes to be resoled like good dress shoes and unlike most minimalist shoes.

Expect Chronology to feel less like FiveFingers and more like flat-bottomed skate shoes with the insoles removed.
